Aghios Gordios Holiday Reviews

A.G. is the perfect resort for all kinds of parties with the exception of young fun seekers. It is very much a sun sea and beach holiday although there a quite a few pools which the public can use provided you use the refreshment facilities. there are numerous tavernas all offering fresh and relatively cheap cuisine. There are a few bars offering Sky sports and a couple of ' late ' bars. There are at least 5 supermarkets for provisions and accomodation is plentiful. Corfu Town is 30 minutes away by bus ( a couple of euros ) or by taxi ( 35 Euros )

A small resort, nice beach mostly sand some shingle on a curved bay. Sea crystal clear. One road of shops, bars and restaurants. No ATM machine. It was end of season so very quiet and alot of places already shut up I would imagine it being much more lively in the high season.

Fantastic location, the best sandy beach and everyhting was so affordable.

Everyone at the hotel was nice and helpful. Make sure not to miss out on the boat trip. It is a lifetime expirience. Do not worry about how to get there once you arrive in Corfu. They come and pick you up for free.

Everyday is a new exciting activity like 4wheeling off roads up mountains, renting a quad to explore the island, scuba diving, hiking and visiting nearby fishing villages, trying home made wine, and some days just relaxing on the beach and swimming! The rooms were beautiful with sea view balconies so that you can enjoy the most amazing sunsets.

Whether we wanted relaxation or adventure, there was always something to do: the beach in front of the hotel was gorgeous with sun lounges; Quad Safari was an exciting on- and off-road trip around the island to a mountaintop monastery and incredible lookout points, beautiful beaches and tiny cafes; we snorkelled, cliff jumped, and paddled to private beaches on Kayak Safari; we wandered around the lovely village of Sinarades plus Corfu Town (a short bus ride from the hotel) for a change of scenery. Agios Gordios Beach is the best place on earth.

The location was also just beautiful, with both mountains and ocean and the best sunset on Corfu. Quad Safari was an exciting on- and off-road trip around the island to a mountaintop monastery and incredible lookout points, beautiful beaches and tiny cafes; we snorkelled, cliff jumped, and paddled to private beaches on Kayak Safari; we wandered around the lovely village of Sinarades plus Corfu Town (a short bus ride from the hotel) for a change of scenery.

Lively, lots of places to visit, friendly locals... A nice play to stay for an holiday and to have fun as a family or alone

We left feeling like they felt they had done us a favour by serving us!!. There are plenty of places to explore locally like the next couple of bays with both have Taverna's on and a trip to Corfu town is a must Stunning sums it up best. Also try to get to Paxos and take the offer of a little bus tour around the island to Greece as it once was before tourism took hold. The beach in Kalami is pebbly and the water Crystal clear.If you are not a confident swimmer the waters are so calm with very little under current, but it does shelve off fairly steeply once you reach about 5 ft deep. Take some bread in with you and feed the fishes its an experience not to be missed and they come in quite shallow. Now the bad bits- due to strength in the Euro this was not a cheap holiday to self -cater,most evening meals came to around the 40 to 50 Euro mark and that was for 2 courses and a couple of pints each and coffee's. Beer was around 3 .50 euros a pint but also please be aware that in the bars it is expected to tip so around 8 euros for 2 beers should do it. Also take plenty of mosquito repelling products they are out and starving by 5pm ish. All in all though this was one of the best holidays I have had. I certainly felt the most relaxed I have been for a long time. If your thinking of going, stop thinking and book trust me you will love it.

A wonderful place to come and relax under a cloudless sky. You won't need much more than your sunnies, sun cream, and a book...there is so much to see and do! For us, two adults and two seven-year-olds, we found that the resort beach and neighbouring villages offered lots of entertainment by foot, scooter or kayak. Our dinners and breakfasts were included in the price, really tasty, and served with the best sunset view on the island. Our rooms were very comfy and a relief from the heat at the end of the day with air con. The Pink Palace staff were polite and helpful. Agios Gordios was a lovely place to be on vacation!

You can have fun morning, noon and night at the Pink Palace. We had a blast quad biking around tiny villages, up winding mountain roads, down to endless sandy beaches...kayaking around to private beaches, snorkelling, and cliff jumping...all the while catching the most incredible views. None beat the sunset at dinner though! On the topic of food, the Pink Palace serves up a tasty breakfast and dinner daily, included in the price (bonus!). We spent our evenings relaxing on the balcony at our room and the kids went down to the on-site club for some dancing (far enough away we never heard a peep). Amazing time - all for a great price.

Saint George has everything you need. It's quiet yet has an excellent selection of bars and restaurants. We didn't have a single poor meal in the time we were there. The resort is really pretty - a real contrast to the big spanish resorts. The beach is lovely and is not too overcrowded.

Gorgeous beach with free sun chairs at resort. Excellent value - hot breakfast and delicious home-cooked Greek dinner included. Loads of reasonably priced daily activities (lunch included) - kayaking, snorkelling, and quad biking offer great scenery and views of the island. Saturday nights feature traditional Greek dancing and plate smashing event! Overall, two very satisfied guests who look forward to returning.

Bars and shops still opening up as early season. Prices same as the UK, beach nice but sand gets so hot by the afternoon you cannot walk on it without good strong shoes. Duck boards all ther way along from the hotel to the village by the day we left.

Corfu refers to both the island and to its main town. Villages of whitewashed houses confetti the sunny isle, two to 15 miles off the Albanian coast. Kerkyra, as it is called in Greek, is rich in Byzantine churches, Venetian fortresses and vibrant nightlife, just some of the reasons it remains the most popular Ionian island. The cosmopolitan town has a population of 37,000, and a wealth of Greek, French and British influences in its maze of narrow, cobbled streets and sophisticated New Town.

We hired a car for the day organised by our Thomson Rep Craig who was very helpful and visited Kassiopi which I would definitely recommend. We found a lovely secluded cove and spent the late morning snorkellng and then walked down into the quaint town for a lovely lunch. Corfu old town is also a definite must for a visit - we did our own thing and only used the Thomson coach to get into Corfu (about an hour from Agios Georgios) and then spent the rest of the time there ambling round the shops and enjoying a lovely evening meal. The atmosphere is great (we went on a Thursday evening (late night shopping) and got the Thomson bus back at 10.00 p.m.

We chose to eat our lunches and evening meals at the Hotel - the view from the Resaurant was fantastic and very relaxing and we did not see much point in going elsewhere - the food was so good and varied and you knew that everything was always going to be so clean and well presented.

I went to Aghios Georgios a couple of years back, and the place was great. Apart from one day where there was a little bit of a tropical storm for about an hour, the rest of the time was pure sunshine. This hotel is superb - all the staff are very helpful and friendly and you'll know each other by name like old friends by the end of the first day.

The pool is lovely, facing the sun with lots of recliners and chairs to relax on. It's got a good bar on the side, and a little bit of musical entertainment by night.

The photo above totally does the place justice too - it is lovely.
